Chapter 40: The Dawn of Dawn
Chapter 40: The Dawn of Dawn
The white-haired one-eyed wolf king is dead, and the danger has been lifted, but the eyes of the villagers are full of sadness.
Several hunters found the village chief from the grass, but fortunately the village chief had some foundation, and although he was seriously injured, he finally picked up a life.
Every family is gloomy, almost every family has casualties, the cry of the child, the low cry of the woman, and the roar of the man are intertwined.
Soon Orion retrieved Li Tiezhu's body, there was a hole in his chest, blood flowed all over the ground, he had already lost his breath for a long time, Li Tiezhu's daughter-in-law pounced on him and cried bitterly, and his son Li Xiaopang had fainted in the attack of the white-haired one-eyed wolf king just now, and he had not woken up yet. The village elder burst into tears, he had five sons in his life, but he didn't expect that they were all white-haired people sending black-haired people, what kind of sin did he create?
All the villagers came to Li Tiezhu's body, and those who were not unconscious bowed silently, if it weren't for Li Tiezhu's shout, there might have been more dead. Qin Chen also bowed silently, this is a hero.
After the casualties were counted, the large village of more than 300 people was now left with more than 200 people, and half of the rest were injured.
The village chief ordered with tears in his eyes, dropped all the corpses, and set off immediately, and immediately cried, and the village chief had no choice, and he didn't want to, there were still the corpses of his own children! But he had to do this, as the head of a village, he had to think about the whole village.
Without giving those villagers time to grieve, the village chief ordered to go on the road again, and no one knew when the next Demon Beast Pioneer would return.
This time, Qin Chen didn't intercept behind again, and those hunters also returned to their families. Now there are only so many people left, and the old way of doing it is no longer necessary. Besides, Qin Chen was afraid, he was afraid that such a tragedy would happen again.
Continue on the rugged mountain road, followed by the corpses of their loved ones, and perhaps it won't be long before those corpses become a meal for the beasts.
This is just a microcosm of the thousands of misfortunes in the southern part of the Land of a Hundred Nations, they are unfortunate, but they are lucky. Because they have Qin Chen, a powerhouse of the ninefold body refining realm, by their side, but how many martial artists of the ninefold body refining realm are in the southern part of the entire land of the hundred countries, and how many of those martial artists happen to be by the side of those mortals, I don't know how many villages in the road have been slaughtered, how many children are crying, and how many martial artists are fighting with demon beasts desperately.
Looking at the sky, there was not a trace of light, and the moon seemed to be unable to stand this miserable situation, hiding behind the dark clouds and hiding her face and crying, it was pitch black, isn't this the future of this group of people? Isn't there a glimmer of hope?
No, even if there is no hope, I have to use my own hands to make a hope. Qin Chen swore silently in his heart.
From the mountain village to Qingyuan County, half of it is a mountain road, and it is generally a flat road, Qin Chen walked with his grandfather and Huihui last time, it stands to reason that as long as he arrives at the main road, he will be safe.
But now in this special period, is there still a safe place in the land of a hundred countries?
In less than a moment, there was a cheer ahead, and when we arrived at the main road, there was a burst of cheers. The crowd formed a group and walked towards the main road.
In fact, the mountain road that Qin Chen came out of the mountain village was just a small road leading to the main road, and in Qingyuan County, there were many such paths. The location of the path Qin Chen and the others walked was also remote, and few people walked except for a few villages.
When I stepped on the road, I thought I was completely safe, but the scene in front of me stunned everyone.
Blood, as far as the eye can see, is blood, red, red stains the whole world.
The ground is full of human and beast remains, a lot of human internal organs have been picked out, scattered fragments of weapons, there are also some warriors mixed in it, but they have become a dinner for demon beasts, however, there are also corpses of demon beasts scattered aside, but compared to the bones of human beings, it is a drop in the bucket.
This is simply a hell on earth! The villagers who thought they were miserable enough left tears in their eyes, and everyone had compassion. Many hunters vomited, although they hunted a lot, and had seen some beasts and human corpses, but where had they seen such a tragedy.
At this time, Qin Chen held the sleeping Huihui in one hand, a spear in the other, and grandpa on his back, and stood up, "I don't have time to vomit for you now, now you have all seen this situation, everyone cheered me up, I can't guarantee you anything, because the rest of the road is more dangerous, but I hope you can finish it." ”
After listening to Qin Chen's words, all the villagers knew that there was no time to sigh, normal people supported the injured, and everyone walked forward together, no matter whether there was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire in front of them, everyone had to break through, otherwise they would only die.
The village chief looked at Qin Chen, and couldn't help but think of Old Man Qin, this is a person with vision! Maybe because of this person, our village can take back a life.
This time it was a big road, Qin Chen came to the front from the back of the team, handed over Huihui and Qin Bai to the hands of the village chief, and handed over the grandfather's body and wooden box to a few sturdy young men, judging from the situation in front, there must be a demon beast to the front, Qin Chen must be at the front to be on guard.
After walking less than a pillar of incense, a figure of a beast appeared in front of him, it turned out that he was eating some leftovers behind the most luke, although it was a beast, maybe he hadn't hurt anyone, but Qin Chen still rushed up with a gun, a few guns, and the beast fell to the ground in response. Maybe killing these beasts can save the lives of those who come after them, but if so, why not slaughter the whole world!
The overnight raid almost never stopped, and that period of rushing consumed Qin Chen's great vitality. But Qin Chen felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he didn't feel unhappy.
Further on, in less than a moment they encountered another group of beasts, but at this time they were surrounding a group of men, only thirty or forty men, and all civilians. There were only a few beasts besieging them, and without the slightest hesitation, Qin Chen's spear shot out, instantly penetrating the throats of several beasts.
The group of people originally thought that they were dead, but suddenly Qin Chen fell from the sky and saved them, and they were immediately grateful to Dade, and a representative came forward and walked towards Qin Chen, "Thank you for the strong man's life-saving grace, but this place is so dangerous, I don't know if I can follow the strong man, hehe." In his mind, Qin Chen's martial arts are strong, and it will be much safer to follow Qin Chen.
Qin Chen spoke: "Yes, but you have to contribute when the beast attacks, and you have to be at the outermost. That representative was grateful for Dade's agreement, in his mind, since Qin Chen was so powerful, how could he still use them.
The representative returned to the group, and soon the two teams merged into one, during which many villagers opposed it, but they were all suppressed by the village chief. Soon the team was moving forward again.
In fact, Qin Chen has his own selfishness, after all, he is a mortal, he can't take care of all aspects, if he can't take care of it, the villagers will be in danger, now that there are other people outside the team, the safety of the villagers has improved a lot, of course, Qin Chen will also protect them, it is safer to do this than letting them go on the road alone, Qin Chen does not think that his approach is wrong.
Soon, Qin Chen met a team, Qin Chen pulled them all over, and the team continued to grow, soon breaking through the scale of a thousand people, and it was still expanding.
When it was less than a few miles away from Qingyuan County, Qin Chen encountered demon beasts for the first time, at this time, these demon beasts did not have the arrogance of the past, because they were being besieged by several martial artists, but both sides were half a catty and eight taels, and no one could help anyone, Qin Chen's eyes immediately turned red, and there was a white wolf inside, although it was not the white-haired one-eyed wolf king, but Qin Chen still rushed forward, with Qin Chen's help, there was no suspense, and the demon beast team was completely wiped out.
Seeing that the demon beast that was inseparable from his group was instantly killed by the young little brother in front of him, everyone is a martial artist, and their eyesight is good, and they will not use the set of judging people by their appearance.
The leader of this group of warriors was a bearded man in his forties and fifties, and he immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Shaoxia for your help, in the next group, I originally wanted to go to the vast mountain range to hunt demon beasts, but I didn't expect the beast tide to break out, so I rushed back, but I didn't expect to encounter demon beasts." ”
Qin Chen understood after thinking about it, this group of people had no reason to lie to themselves, even if they deceived themselves, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Under Qin Chen." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Qin, everyone is a martial artist, why don't you go with us?" I believe that the chance of escape will be a little greater. ”
Qin Chen hurriedly shook his head: "No." ”
"Oh, why is that? Could it be that Brother Qin looks down on us?" the bearded warrior wondered.
Qin Chen looked at the team behind him, with a tender expression: "Because there is my home behind here, I can't abandon them." Then he turned his head, "Why don't you go with my team, everyone will take care of each other, and the chances of escape will be better." ”
The bearded warrior thought for a while, discussed it with his partner again, and looked at Qin Chen with an apologetic expression: "Brother Qin, I'm sorry, a few of us are used to being casual, and we are not used to walking with a large team." Leave. ”
Qin Chen didn't keep it, let those people disappear from his sight, there was still a big difference between ordinary people and martial artists, they couldn't blindly follow themselves, Qin Chen didn't force it, everything was fate. Then he led the team to the front.
Not far away, a companion asked the bearded warrior puzzled: "Why don't we go with them, that Qin brother looks quite strong, and if you go with him, you have a better chance of survival." ”
The bearded man sneered: "What do you know, that person has so many mortals, it seems that he is just two kinds of people." ”
"What two kinds of people?"
"One is a great traitor and a wicked person, he wants to use those people as a shield, and it is difficult for us to guarantee that we will not have such an end if we follow him; the other is a person of great benevolence and righteousness, he is so affectionate, he is too merciful, this kind of person will not live long, you must know that this is a world of deceit. The bearded warrior self-righteously analyzed.
It's just that they didn't expect that in less than half a pillar of incense after leaving Qin Chen, they encountered a demon beast, a fifth-level demon beast, a demon beast that Qin Chen could kill with a wave of his hand, but at this time, it became their talisman. Now the bearded warrior regretted that he didn't promise Qin Chen at the beginning.
At this time, Qin Chen didn't know anything about this, because he encountered a small team again.
Along the way, Qin Chen's team was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and there were already more than 3,000 people under the gate of Qingyuan County. There are dozens of martial artists among them, although they are all one-two existences, but they are also a combat force. During this period, I also encountered several large demon beast impacts, except for the first time when I was more panicked, more than a dozen people died, and then everyone knew the importance of cooperation, and the casualty rate was reduced a lot.
Finally came to Qingyuan County, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Qingyuan County is the political, economic, and cultural center of Qingyuan County, although the regular troops are not in the city, but the combat power can not be underestimated, in the eyes of everyone, Qingyuan County is everyone's safe haven, the dawn of dawn, is the safest place that will never be broken.
But even this dawn is the dawn of war.
When there was still a little distance from the Qingyuan County City, Qin Chen's heart was stunned, he actually saw the firelight, could it be that the Qingyuan County City had already been captured? Qin Chen hurriedly threw this idea out of his mind, this was impossible, judging from the scale of the Beast Tide Vanguard Force, it was far from the point of capturing the Qingyuan County City.
But no matter what, Qin Chen still had to confirm it, if it was true, it was better to let these people flee for their lives quickly! At that time, Qin Chen was unable to protect himself.
One person set off in advance, let those people follow, and in less than a moment, Qin Chen arrived at the city, in order to prevent the demon beasts from sneaking attack, the trees around the Qingyuan County City were all cut down, and it was a large flat land. At this time, Qin Chen was standing on the edge of the flat ground.
After taking a look, Qin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, the worst scene he imagined had not happened, and the dawn of dawn was still becoming a hope for the people of Qingyuan County.
The scene in front of him touched Qin Chen's heart a lot.
At this time, the gate of Qingyuan County was closed. Hundreds of monsters and thousands of beasts wreaked havoc in front of the city gates, and soldiers on the city walls fought against those beasts and monsters with bows and arrows and rolling logs. If this is the case, it is nothing, but the countless civilians below are holding weapons to fight those beasts, and those demon beasts are dealt with by martial artists, Qin Chen saw at a glance that Luo Ye, the county guard of Qingyuan County, was holding a big knife, cutting those demon beasts like chopping vegetables. Qin Chen could see at a glance that most of those warriors were people from the county guard, and most of those civilians were people from Qingyuan County.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Luo Ye, of course, the starting point was at the auction of the demon pill, but now, all Qin Chen's prejudice against Luo Ye was gone, no matter what his character was, he could take the lead in killing demon beasts at this time, this was a good county guard. Or at other times, his advantages did not appear, but as long as the demon beast tide broke out, that was the time for him to make a contribution.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Chen rushed down with a gun.
The cultivation of these demon beasts is only a fifth-level demon beast, but there are a little more of them, although Luo Ye is a martial artist who is conjoined and eightfold, but he is not capable of destroying all the demon beasts, so the casualties are still quite large.
Qin Chen rushed forward, whether it was a beast or a demon beast, as long as he entered his field of vision, he would kill him.
With a stab from the tip of the gun, a snake demon fell down unwillingly, Qin Chen's eyes were full of red, and the resentment that he had endured until now could finally explode.
Drawing out the spear, in a sweep, the three-headed demon beast was swept up by Qin Chen, with a jump, the spear pushed forward, and the three-headed demon beast flew towards the place where the beasts were dense, and the violent impact made a large area empty there, such a scene naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Luo Ye split the head of a demon beast in front of him, and asked loudly with a big knife: "That brother, you are very brave!
Qin Chen flew a demon beast away, and said without replying: "In Xia Qin Chen, now is not the time to talk, wait until this group of beasts is slaughtered, and then we will talk." ”
The head of a county, when would anyone dare to talk to him like this, but Luo Ye did not show the slightest sign of anger, but instead laughed: "Okay, let's talk about it in this group of beasts!"
Although the beasts and demon beasts are both fierce and fearless attacks, the disparity in strength is really large, and with the addition of Qin Chen's team behind them, there is no suspense, and the demon beasts are defeated like a mountain.
Luo Ye Ha Lu Ha laughed and cut a demon beast in two, "Qingyuan County City has been built for more than 100 years, and there has never been a record of being attacked by demon beasts, and the county guards of all dynasties have guarded it, in my place, don't even think about it." ”
At this time, the battle was nearing its end, the demon beasts were dead and wounded, and those beasts couldn't make many waves.
Qin Chen picked and killed five beasts in a row, looked to the east, and showed a long-lost smile, at this time the dawn had arrived, the sun showed a corner on the horizon, and the dawn began to spread the entire land.
Huihui had just woken up and was lying in the arms of the village chief, so warm in his arms!
The little dog Qin Bai walked around the battlefield, specifically looking for the corpses of those demon beasts, devouring the demon pill, and really let it be lucky to find one, Qin Bai showed a humanized smile on his face, and swallowed the demon pill in one bite.
The dawn of dawn came a little late, but it came after all.
